While Cercrete products typically carry a higher material cost per ton than ordinary Portland cement (OPC), they deliver superior value on a total installed life cycle cost basis. As an Ultra High Performance Cement (UHPC) that is uniquely 100% green, Cercrete often proves cost-competitive or more economical than OPC due to:
- Accelerated cure times reducing project duration
- Lower labor requirements
- Minimal surface preparation needs
- Superior durability extending service life
- Reduced maintenance and replacement costs
In repair and specialty applications, Cercrete consistently outperforms OPC both technically and economically, with total cost of ownership advantages becoming evident over the structure’s lifetime.
